No I get that, I assumed he was quoting comparable numbers. Othwerwise there would have been lots more decimals and explanations.
Also, as has been mentioned on Sportsnet the Fan, the Canadian contracts are quickly coming up for renewal, and will obviously not go cheaper, based on the recent media mergers and battles.
